You've spent the time and money to get a top-notch home theater setup, so why limit it to commercial movies? Get a video camera that takes full advantage of it for your vacation and sports videos. Canon’s VIXIA HG20 high definition camcorder saves your memories directly to its 60GB hard drive with incomparable digital picture and sound quality. The 12X optical zoom is matched with a 200X digital zoom for extreme close-ups. Have someone follow your ski run from the top of the hill to the bottom, while waiting for you with a hot cup of coffee. The exclusive Instant AF keeps the picture sharp at any speed.
The lens set is backed by a true 1920x1080 HD CMOS sensor. Not only do you get a true 1080p image, you get one with vivid colors, thanks to the Bayer-pattern RGB Primary Color Filter. Canon has included a gyro- and image-sensor based SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization system to keep your images sharp. This combination can handle anything from high-frequency vibrations like you get from a moving car to the lower-frequency shakes from hand held recording.
Canon's makes no compromise in quality with this camcorder, even to the output methods. You could use the component video outputs. If you’re the videophile we think you are, though, you’ll use the HDMI port to plug directly into your HD TV, that’s what it’s there for after all.
